Unfortunately, as much as I like and use firefox on both pc and mobile, chrome and chromium based browsers dominate the market. It doesn't help that they come pre-installed in both cases.

So not only is it training AI on your data, but you're the one paying for the storage and the energy to do so.

Payment on delivery is still very much a thing here. Literally all food delivery allows it.

The majority of online retailers allow it too, though some of them charge the equivalent of ~1€ if you do choose it.

I prefere using it when I don't know much about the store or if I know the store is too big to care about their customers and I had orders being delayed by them in the past. It's in their best interest to deliver it asap if they didn't get the money yet.

Also, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with goods damaged during shipping, if the box is damaged you just refuse it and don't have to wait x amount of days to get the money back into your account.

Not every country out there has a violent society looking for the next easy target to rob.

Well, technically you could pay cash on delivery, at least for physical goods. But card payments are just conveniant.

The only thing better imo, is nfc payment with phone just because fingerprint scan lets me pay without a pin and without compomising on security, so it's a tiny bit faster and more conveniant with no drawbacks.

For small amounts amounts either card or phone is fine.

I only carry cash as backup

What about the back of your tv? Or friend's PC? Or library computer? Or phone charger? Or... Any other Universal device using the Universal Serial Bus...

You may learn YOUR devices, but you may also have to interact with other devices at times and USB didn't make it easy in the past.

Now, type C is a thing and it helps with plugging it in right the first time, but that one has the HUGE issue with allowing any protocol since USB 1.0 and everyrhing else is optional. So even though you can plug a type C monitor into a type C microphone, nothing will happen, so it's not stupid proof anymore.

Not talking about my ports. Also ports can be installed the wrong way by the manufacturer. I had a pc case that the front usb ports upside down. But again, usb ports can be installed vertically, in which case it won't matter if you know which is up or down your usb plug, because now it's left or right

That may help in the case of a properly installed usb port, but what if the port is upside down? Or what if it's a vertical port? Is upside left or right?

My bet is on density. You cram so much in such a tiny space, so any tiny imperfection or fault will corrupt the data or render the drive unusable.

Right... Except the average person, we can't have that
